Yes, it certainly has had a real wintery feel to it lately...expecially in the mid south with all the rain...
Not much of a winter time driver anymore...it's really dangerious out there in the winter...not really worth the risk or heartache for me anymore...
I see enough people crash just in the rain, let alone snow and ice...
And you can be minding your own business, driving how you should, and others will crash, slide, into you...
Some dreams I had...
1. A strange truth was made in the middle east...an Osama Bin Laden type of figure was dancing around in jubilee with other 'fighters'...do to this peace...but the whole thing was being held together by the watchful eye of the Americans...
It all took place in a rocky desert encampment...a very hot desert valley...sorounded by steep rock cliffs....
It was too the Americans interest that all these people get along....
2. In that same dream sequence...there was a man leading a ban of outcasts...this man or leader was still very much unhappy...for his people hadn't found peace...
For some reason I was put in charge over it all...and I asked this man what his issue was....turns out he was leading a group of people with 'down sydnrome'....and he wouldn't be happy until they could find their own home, place within the kingdom...where they could be safe, respected, and left alone...
So acting on my own whim, I told the guy we would negotiate a deal, a settlement, for his people...
3. (last major dream I had that I can remember)
Came upon a wild dog or coyote that was attacking a fallen Eagle or Hawk...the Eagle or Hawk was black in color...looked more like a giant Raven or Crow...but it wasn't...it was an Eagle or Hawk...
It was on it's back...this majestic bird, and being attacked by a dog...that did not respect it's majesty...
When suddenly another Canine came along and started attacking or distracting the wild dog that was bothering the bird...
The one attacking the Bird was a wild animal...but the canine attacking the attacker was a wild domesticated dog...like a German shepard or something...but it was wild and crazy...and was in attack mode...
Soon it succeeded...and it and the wild Canine or coyote started mating or something...
(I know...weird)...
Those are the 3 major dreams I had that I can remember...had others...one had to do with being on a Navy ship...in another...I was flying airplanes high into the clouds...and in another I was flying without the aid of mechanical devices...
Anyways...last leg of trip...about to get logs up to date and roll out of here...

Hey Jim Hoffa...I'll gladly take your $25.00 an hour Union job over C L Werners .21 or .23 cents a mile racket...
Any man who wants to fight for me to have better wages, job longevity, workers rights isn't all that bad to me...
I'll take your rhetoric any day over Sean Hannities...and the other talk show hosts, who are on the pay roll of big business...who pay them to say Unions are bad...and to try to hook or connect labor unions to other social issues that have nothing to do with workers rights...
Life is short...healthy useful life is even shorter...and I'll be darned if I'm going to work for .21 cents a mile, just to proove a point to Rush Limbaugh...while he rakes in over $200 million a year, and is a member of a Union himself...
All the talk show hosts who rail against unions, are in unions themselves...wow...reaping the benefits of such, while telling others how bad they are...again wow...
Talk show hosts actually convince their listeners that 'collective barganing' is bad??
Having a voice, and or say in how your treated at work is bad?
Has anyone read this thread lately?
http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/report-a-bad-trucking-company-here/
Careers and lives destroyed by companies who feel they can do what they like with drivers...who sit around on weekends for free...
But people choose to continue to resist unions for supposed ideological reasons...and not practical ones...
Yes Jim Hoffa...if you want to make my working conditions better and increase my pay, and give me representation to big powerful corporations...then go for it...
Cause as an induvisual standing against any corporation alone...you mean less to them than a fly...
Yes...this is what corporations think of the induvisual...(that would be me and you)
Thanks Hoffa for being out there...I'm not in a Union...but thanks anyways...I'm not blinded by talk radio rhetoric...
And much thanks to your dad also...may he rest in peace...
Man did more to improve conditions for the American worker than Sean Hannity could ever hope to do...
Sean Hannity is just looking out for is sponsors...U4EA Thanks this. -
I'm being bombarded with feet again...
Pretty cute feet always get me in a good mood...
I see all these barefeet and soles flying down the road...such a hoot...
They always look so relaxed and happy...and so I snap away...the ones I catch...missed some good ones today...
Inching my way back home...kind of caught between a rock and a hard spot...
Not real happy where I'm at...and the enviornment out here kind of leaves you socially empty...just gotta keep saving I guess...until I can get one of these...
my dream home...I get aroused just looking at it...knowing I could go anywhere and be at home...self sustained unit...park by lake, in mountains, by river...in the desert, wherever...
Yum....
Anyways...got some tasks to do...U4EA Thanks this. -
I inherited one of those a few years ago. They are nice for sure. We took it to the lake for the summer, parked at a campground. Rates are way cheaper than renting a cottage. Stealing the towels isn't as fun when they're yours to begin with but..... The one complaint I had was the hassle of just having to run to the store. All the unhooking and what not. I recommend pulling a golf cart, or a sports car behind you for those impromptu trips to the store.
ghostchild Thanks this. -
An off road RV...wow that's just to sexy...
I've always wondered why companies never made one...was talking about it years ago...but without funding, your ideas go up in smoke...and you watch as someone with funding brings an idea you had to life...
But me and you both know that with RV's...unless you practically glue everything down...rocken and rollen in something like this would leave plates, food, and anything else not strapped down, all over the floor...
But boy would I love to take this into the desert...or high plains for a weekend adventure...zebcohobo Thanks this. -
I swear I do not plan these things...
But here I was being followed by the Weiner moble...
Oh I can just here what my distractors are thinking right now...
It's not my fault that this thing happened to be following me in Flagstaff, AZ... -
